I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson

Long story short, I don't know the main actor or his previous shows. As an Aussie, I'm also not a huge fan of American humour which is often hit-and-miss for me. Not the comedy's fault, of course, just a preference thing on my part.

Anyway, I watched this show with very little expectation, especially after the stream of very low reviews. I was therefore pleasantly surprised as I laughed my head off for the majority of episode one.

Is it silly? Yes. Is it immature? Yes. Is it utter nonsense? Yes. But, is it straight up funny? Yes! Take it for what it is; the moron at the job interview or the horrible friend at the birthday party. And watch out for Turbo Team and their joke toilet, I thought that was hilarious.

Throw it on, switch off your 'inner adult' and just enjoy the stupidity.

This show can be very good or very bad, depending on the individual sketch and also on the viewer. A lot of people hate it for valid reasons, while others love it for reasons which are also valid. I'm somewhere inbetween.

There were some sketches that really made me laugh for several reasons. Sometimes the concept was just absurd and hilarious, sometimes there were funny/unexpected twists, sometimes it was the acting that made the sketch so funny.

But at some sketches, I also found myself rolling my eyes, getting bored or even annoyed. The show leans heavily into repetition and a number of sketches just try to hammer the same joke down your throat again and again. Some sketches also rely too much on the "cringe" part or simply don't have a funny concept.

Overall, I had some good laughs though, and that's what matters the most. The bad sketches can be skipped, the good ones can be enjoyed. If you can't stand cringe comedy, you will hate the show and I would not recommend it to you. Everyone else should be able to find some joy in it.

I'd been a massive fan of Detroiters so was deeply into the idea of Tim Robinson getting let loose on his own sketch show. What you get here is an ever-intensifying doubling down on a very specific type of humour. Specifically, his. Dotted with some brilliant guest appearances and never quite ending where you expect it to - this is a show that delights in wrong-footing you. Tripping you up, freaking you out. The best sketches revolve around the evergreen "a person's full refusal to face up to the reality of what they've done" schtick and it works beautifully. I see memes of this all over the shop and I've even heard of folk going back to seek out Detroiters which is glorious - I'm glad it's finally brought him a big audience and proof, if proof is needed, that doubling down on your own humour (which ironically is based itself on doubling down) is double down... wait what am I saying. I don't even know. Stop looking at me.

This show is actually crazy. Sketch comedy at its very best even though there is no recognizable running theme throughout all the episodes. Its completely random and that is what makes this show very funny. Vanessa Bayer and Will Forte absolutely nail their sketches.

The first time i saw this i thought it was so insanely devoid of human comprehension i hated it. Days go by and then i figured out... that i couldn't get my mind off it. Season 2 came by and now it's official. I need more of these. There is nothing as overwhelmingly odd as this- something that just happens on these deranged sketches and things your brain can't fathom to even register as "funny" and yet, you still can't look away. What a piece of work. I still understand nothing at all, but now it makes me laugh at the face of madness.
